Thirteen and Suri climbed back on the bus. The two handed the bags of items to the men and walked back to their seats.
Thirteen ignored the glances she received from all the girls as she walked past.
She sat next to Cameron and to her surprise Cameron was not asleep.
"You took a long time." She said matter of factly when Thirteen sat down.
"Sorry. There was a lot of stuff to get." Thirteen settled into her seat and tried to close her eyes. Cameron nodded and looked out the window. The parking lot was vacant. The only car in the parking lot was a beat up truck, probably belonging to the cashier.
Cameron let out a shallow warm breath and a cloud of mist appeared on the dark blue window glass. She put a delicate pointer finger tip up to the glass and began to draw.
Thirteen opened her eyes for a moment and saw Cameron.
"What are you drawing?" Thirteen asked.
"I don't know." Cameron sighed dreamily. Her finger moved and looped until a picture could be recognized.
Thirteen shifted in her seat to see it better. "Oh, it's a stethoscope."
"Yea." Cameron removed her finger and watched as her picture was erased by the moisture drying."Remember when that was our life?"
Thirteen didn't know what to do so she hugged the girl comfortingly. "It still is. We're going to get out of here. I promise."
Cameron moved out of her embrace and shifted to face the brunette. "You can't promise that."
"Cameron, I'm trying to be positive about this."
"I want to be realistic," Cameron said. "We're not getting out of this anytime soon."
Thirteen wanted to tell Cameron about what Suri said but she decided to wait. Cameron was beyond having a reasonable conversation with right now.
Detective Stabler and Detective Benson drove out towards Cameron's apartment yesterday morning, hoping to see Remy's car.
They had in fact found the car slumped in a ditch on the side of the road. They looked inside the car's backseat and found a short brown hair. They took it for DNA testing. They also noticed shoe prints headed into the field next to the road. The foot prints were hard to follow because some were of the girl's high heels. They only had the indents of the patted parts of the front and the tip of the heels imbedded in the soil.
Benson and Stabler followed the footprints until they reached the forest.
"They could have gone anywhere after they reached the woods." Stabler said, noticing the foot prints were beginning to fade.
Benson kneeled on the dirt and nodded. "We need search dogs out here."
"I'll call."
The bus' wheels continued to turn on their way down south.
Suri had moved up to the front seats with the guys because they wanted to talk to her about her duties in Florida.
"Florida is so far away." Cameron said. She was sprawled out on the seats with her legs up and rested on Thirteen's thighs.
"Yea," Thirteen said, sliding her fingers through her hair. "I can't believe we're going there. Why?"
"Cover their tracks maybe?" Cameron said.
"But why wouldn't they tell us?" Thirteen asked.
"I don't know. How did you even find out?" Cameron asked.
"Suri told me in the store." Thirteen replied.
"You're getting pretty close with her, aren't you?" Cameron asked after a second of hesitation.
Thirteen looked at her. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing." Cameron said suddenly. "Should it?"
Thirteen shot her another look. "No."
Cameron bit at her thumb nail. "Alright."
"Great." Thirteen said. "You don't believe me."
"No, I do. I just know how persuasive you can be." Cameron replied.
"Why do I get the feeling I'm not going to like where this conversation is going?" Thirteen asked.
"It's just that, that girl seems to really like you." Cameron said.
"Cameron, she's seventeen. I would never-"
"That's what you say now." Cameron interrupted.
"Cameron!" Thirteen raised her voice a little. "Nothing is going to happen. Why can't you just trust me?"
"Fine, I do." Cameron said.
Thirteen let out a frustrated sigh. She leaned over to Cameron so her face was only a few inches from the blonde's. She smiled lightly and kissed Cameron for a few seconds. She pulled away and Cameron smiled at her. That sweet smile made Thirteen's heart melt. She leaned in for another kiss but was interrupted by the sight of Suri standing above them. She pulled away.
"Oh, don't let me stop you." Suri smirked. Thirteen shot a piercing stare at her. Suri laughed slightly and sat back next to the sleeping Tracy.
Upon seeing Suri, Cameron sat back normally and scooted away from Thirteen.
"What's wrong?" Thirteen asked.
"I just want to relax." Cameron replied.
Thirteen bit her lip and nodded. She looked up the row and saw some girls playing poker. This piqued her interest. She stood up without saying anything to Cameron and began to walk down the isle.
She stopped when she reached the group. There was a cute brunette that looked fairly tired, a busty blonde, and a young Latina girl. There was also an Indian girl that looked to be about twenty. Her beauty almost stopped Thirteen in her tracks.
"Hey," Thirteen said. The girls looked up at her and the young cute brunette smiled.
"Hey!" The brunette said with a adorably thick southern accent.
"You're, Remy right?" The busty blonde asked.
"Yea…" Thirteen replied as she plopped down in a seat.
"We've heard a lot about you." The Latina girl said.
"Is that a good thing?" Thirteen asked, trying to chuckle a little.
The girls exchanged glances. The brunette spoke up.
"Never mind, I'm Dorothy." Dorothy said, trying to change the subject.
Thirteen tried not to think too much about that and smiled. "Nice to meet you."
"This is Aubrey," Dorothy said, pointing to the blonde. "Maya," She gestured to the Latina girl. "And this is Shailene," She finished with the Indian beauty.
"People call me Shai." Shai said.
Thirteen replied with a nod and a smile. Damn. She's pretty cute.
"Well, you came up here to play poker I presume?" Aubrey spoke up.
"Uh, yea." Thirteen said.
"Good." Aubrey replied.
"Don't be fooled by Dorothy's cute face," Maya whispered to Thirteen. "She'll rob you of every cent you have."
Thirteen nodded with a chuckle. "I'll be sure to watch out for that 5'3 killer."
Maya lightly laughed.
The girls watched as Aubrey shuffled the deck.
Thirteen had to wonder how these girls had money with them. She had kept the change in her pockets from the supermarket. Suri had taken half and she had taken half. Suri said they never got caught doing that and Thirteen trusted her. But how did these four women get enough to play poker?
Thirteen sat back and took the cards in her hands. She almost wished she had some alcohol to gulp while she played.
